A Jenson Christmas

The kids have been waiting all year for this party.  And of course, the morning of, Chase throws up, then me... :(  Carly had been practicing "Santa Baby" for over a month, and when she found out I might not be able to help her, the look on her face about broke my heart.  So....I went in my pj's, kept a low profile, and toughed it out.  My new baby nephew was the VIP...



I kept my distance :(  We (or should I say THEY) enjoyed the traditional Jenson family dinner.  Ham, cheese, rolls, cheese ball, crackers, christmas jell-o, slush and all sorts of goodies.


After that, we all meet downstairs to watch a short nativity movie, then it's on to the beloved talent show!  It's more descriptive name is probably a VARIETY show.  Logan did "The Enlargenator" where you put up a big curtain and throw something behind it, and it comes out the other side bigger.  Carly sang "Santa Baby" (her choice) which she memorized and practiced dilligently for at least a month.  Chase couldn't decide, but he'd heard Carly so much, that he ALSO had "Santa Baby" memorized, so he did a lip sync to the same song.  No pictures of my kids because I was video taping and Frank refuses to participate in any way :(

There are instruments, tumbling, dancing, jokes, singing, but one of the great originals this year were Jason and Adam's Chins singing, "My Hearts a Stereo"...Hil-ar-i-ous!

 And last....the white elephant.  Everyone is supposed to bring a $5 gift.  With 30 grandkids, this takes a while.  We love watching the little ones get so offended when someone actually dares to take away their gift!
